Re: 04/27 Cubs (Lilly) @ Nationals (Lannan) 12:35pm CDT, WGN

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson grounded to first base , safe at first on a field ing error, E3, runners holding

[Tracer Bullet]

I'll admit it, I was hoping he wouldn't swing at all during the AB. Either take the walk or the K. Crap.

[TruffleShuffle]

hope you got that bet in, UMFan

[genbar]

Do what you do best, Theriot

[Butterscup1679666578]

Cedeno for starting SS when Soriano returns.

[ctcf]

In my eyes there is absolutely no grounds for a Theriot over Cedeno argument at this point.

[C.C.]

Well, it's going to be that kind of day.

[UMFan83]

It's only April. It's only April. It's only April. It's only April. It's only April.

 

I want to punch something

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cubs have been letting these types of situation get away waaaaaaaaay too much lately.

[illiniguy]

Having him batting in front of Lee is just genious.

[sneakypower]

i can only imagine how bad the outcry is going to be now

Ya think? We'd be on a 9 game winning streak right now if we could hit with RISP

[Flames24Rulz]

Bwahahahahahaha. This is the real Cubs offense.

 

Good possibility that we'll lose 2 of 3 to Washington. Garbage.

I got to punch something!

No I think we would be on that streak had Theriot not been playing. he has killed us with his glove, lack of hitting, and stealing.

[weis21]

Well, it's going to be that kind of day.

Yep, might as well turn it off now, but I love to torture myself I guess.

Right, I wish I didn't see that past inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nieves grounded out to short, 6-3

[chuckywang]

Nice play, Theriot.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Looks like we just need to tip the cap.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lannan struck out swinging

Wow your right:

 

Thursday: GIDP with the bases loaded, botches a routine DP ball that results in the go ahead run scoring

Friday: CS twice, including once at 3B where afterwards the circumstances led to the Cubs hitting a sac fly.

Today: GIDP with the bases loaded in a situation to tie the game.

[C.C.]

I hate, I hate games like this. Ruins my whole flippin' day!

[VanceJergins]

Murton in LF, Cedeno at SS, DeRosa at 2B, Theriot in Peoria.
